Hi
Well the say started off dull and drab, we took off in the car and travelled along the coast but grey everywhere..... We popped in to see Nicky ( Nickyv32 ) as she was selling her images and had a chat, when we came out a miracle occurred, yes the sun came out.
Headed to the hill overlooki...

What a horrible day, winds , rain and then calmness and the hint of light just before the sunset. Apparently to head back the way Monday.

After much deliberation I decided to buy another copy of Nikon Capture NX2, I have so many RAW NEF files to edit and converting them with the cheap convertor is such a waste. So I e...
